Today is International LGBTQ+ Pride Day ❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜 🤎 🖤

We just wanted to take a second to say to all the LGBTQ+ people who make up this amazing community here on the open social web, we see you and we are proud that you are here with us.

Please, take a second today to share your love with the LGBTQ+ community who continue to face homophobia and hardship across all social platforms - including this one.

Thanks Tim! It's always a pleasure working with you.

It's great to see our tech doing what we designed it for in your hands, bringing people together to share knowledge and make a difference 🧡

As we head towards the weekend, follow @renewedresistance to keep up to date on the latest peaceful organising against Trump and Trumpism.

To get involved in the discussion, follow the account, await approval, and then post by tagging the account!

As part of our Channel.org beta, we built this group to help our good friend @tchambers repurpose the @KamalaHarrisWin account (which has now been migrated) for an important cause.

We're looking forward to attending a re-imagined FediForum!

#FediForum helps bring the open social web community together to discuss more than technology, but also the important social and cultural issues we face on the open social web.

We're looking forward to seeing what our friends across the social web are demoing and showing off https://Channel.org later today so, if you're tuning in, let us know what you think!

Happy Pride Month! 🎉

This month, and every month, we stand with our LGBTQ+ colleagues, friends and acquaintances.

There is still a lot of work to be done to ensure LGBTQ+ people are safe in their communities, but we hope that we can help them build safety on the open social web.

"Social media isn't genuine." ❌ Wrong!

Profit-first social platforms aren't genuine, but social-first platforms can be.

Platforms owned by Big Tech companies aren't there to help you find people with similar interests. Instead, they have fallen victim to their own profits.

But we know there's a solution - open social media built on the social web.

Now, we're working to spread word about the open social web and invite our friends to better online community.

Today, besides other concerned individuals and organisations, our co-founder @michael co-signed and delivered a letter regarding the current UK technology policy to the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer.

We believe it is critical that the UK does not become dependent on US technologies which echo the corporate interests of Big Tech.

Tomorrow is the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia - #IDAHOTB

We understand how important it is for queer people to feel safe in the communities they build online. That's why we ensure the Community Guidelines across all of our services prevent hateful and harmful content.

If you see content that doesn't belong, please report it to the server admin. Together, we can make the open social web a home for LGBTQ+ people.

Like a pair of boots, a good social platform needs wearing in 🥾

We love that building community on the social web doesn't happen overnight.

When people first joined platforms like Twitter, they grew their community slowly and carefully. The open social web lets you grow meaningful community once again.

The longer we spend here, the more comfortable we feel.

#SocialMedia #Fediverse #SocialWeb #Mastodon

Social media that doesn't cater to the whims of billionaires, hateful politics,
or promote fake news. Can you imagine it? 💭

On the open social web, you have a home on social media that you control. You
can celebrate diversity, post links, and you can even share beyond your
platform.

It's better social media and we're proud to be helping others join.
